Technically speaking is it worth it to get a silver N80i which i resent since i love the black pearl model. Or is it better to get the N80 black and then do the firmware upgrades to N80i features. Even then i suppose this would not guarantee the VOIP features right.

Damn sienz, can find the N80i in black color tho altho i've read it in reviews it does come in 2 colors also.

Wow...where did you got that model..most shops in LY...has da silver model only. Then again how to confirm a black N80i as it is not shown in the box or the phone itself.

yup definitely a lot suspicion ahead as i've not seen a black version of the N80i in the shops yet and yes i'm referring to the Nokia original booths. Do let us know once you can confirm the phone status.

Wow...how do you confirm the black ones are N80i. Any sign or symbol.....

Well guys that's some great input. Here's some question which i would appreciate your kind feedback....

1. How about the music and in comparison with N73 ME, i'm sure N73 Me beats handsdown with its stereo speakers, but i hope it wasn't too bad.

2. Understandable the battery life is quite weak in comparison to others, but i believe by turning off 3G and non execessive use of WIFI would give it a lasting go for atleast 2 days.....

3. Pictures taken in daylight and night mode, well are they that contrast as to N73 ME. I believe the settings has to be adjusted manually since it lacked da AF features. Based on reviews, the 3 MP cam did a quite good job in keeping up. What say you guys?

4. We all know the design is simply immaculate...slider is just that damn cool tho. Do you guys faced any flaws (slider probs as highlighted earlier)?

5. Simply put i'm looking for a jack of all trades and N80i seems to be up for it. It has bits of everything and hopefully doesn't tire out with other new models. Just wondering whether the satisfaction garnered from you guys.....

6. The last qs....is it worth it when you have this special HP while there are other N's in the market.

Wow....thanks vampiric & Futurisco. i guess i've pretty made up my mind now. Appreciate the thoughts....always had a soft spot for the N80....ahha

guys i'm not sure if you've faced this. But i've seen an N80 model can basically call out the name from da address book after playing the ring tone for a few secs. How'd you turn dis on?


And...figured it out. Caller name off settings in profile.
